And a lot better from a security standpoint. Hell, get a Bitwarden subscription.

I’m pretty sure you need to pay for twitter to use 2fa with it though. (I don’t use twitter, I’ve just heard that this is a thing)

Even for free I’m unconvinced of the value of using it on purpose.

I only browse it for R18 stuff. Hopefully one day I will be able to get most of it from Mastodon uwu.

I never understood the appeal regardless. The character limit, the UI, and the content is trash

40 million per month? For check marks? Shit, coming together with a unified move to mastodon to save money and society is the most painless of obligations for those in the limelight. I judge all who remain on that hell plane made manifest.

It would still take 6075 twitter mass subs cancellations to deplete Musk’s wealth though.

I’m really sort of disappointed somebody hasn’t launched some transfer service for the entire platform.

There was almost one but then Xitter nuked their public API which makes it almost impossible, from memory. They knew this would happen, and they did everything they could to stop it.

What other site do we know of that made their API a pain to use killing the app that I used to tolerate that site that a good chunk of is migrated from?

mm means millions

permalink

I guessed that from context and was just making fun of it. Writing it that way is definitely confusing and shouldn’t be done. “mm” is internationally recognized as “millimeters”. In financial papers, sometimes, Roman numerals “MM” are used to indicate millions, but then it should strictly be capitalized. In my opinion, for general use, number followed by a single “m” conveys the idea best ($40m), and followed by “k” for thousand ($40k). Use capitals for more formal settings ($40M and $40K).

For sure! I hate the ambiguity that it adds. MM in upper or lowercase is something I’ve seen for millions in financial and business contexts, along with a single m for thousand. To avoid ambiguity I ended up using K for thousands and MM for millions back in the day.

Where did that K in thousand come from after all, anyway? M for million makes sense. K for thousand doesn’t.
